Sale of Old Instruments.
There was a notable sale of violins and
'cellos in London on May 22nd which derived
interest not merely from the value of the fine
old instruments sold, but from their most
recent associations.
Sir Arthur Sullivan,
for instance, was the owner of seventeen very
fine instruments included in the sale. Among
them were a notable 'cello by Joseph Guarne-
rius; a, violin by Antonio Stradivarius, Cre-
mona, 1692; and others by Klotz. Fendt,
Guadagnini. The signature of the maker
was on the back of the Stradivarius. Be-
sides the violins the sale included an Irish
psaltery, a lute by Hoffman of 1758,, and
autograph letters by Mendelssohn and Pag-
anini.
C. J. Roberts, formerly manager of Lud-
den & Bates Southern Music House, has
opened a music store in Tampa, Fla.
